‘”Yeah, that’s what you got to do. You got to be able to, you know, play whatever they need you to be, you know, in an emergency situation,” Lewis said. “So, I’m glad he came in. Did what he supposed to do, stepped up, made some big plays, man, and helped us win this game.”‘

Ryan O'Halloran: No place Sean McDermott would rather be than Buffalo, coaching the Bills
‘“We have a number of unknowns. We could come out and not have it the way we need it to in the first few weeks,” he said. “I look at it as a challenge and a bit of a chess match. That’s one of the things, as a coach, you embrace. I’m excited to watch them grow over the course of the year.”’
Four keys to victory for the Bills as they face the Cardinals
‘Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady said this offseason that this is Josh Allen’s offense. Don’t waste any time showing that. The Bills should let their franchise quarterback dazzle early. Arizona’s pass rush is not up to par, and Allen and the Bills offense should be able to take advantage. Allen should also test the Cardinals’ cornerbacks. Arizona has refreshed its defense, but there are plenty of opportunities for Allen to capitalize on that. Allen’s 44 total touchdowns led the NFL last season. Allen shouldn’t feel as if he has to do it all alone, but he also shouldn’t shy away from the plays that have endeared him to Buffalo.’
Bills numbers to know: These 4 stats could shape Buffalo's season opener vs. the Cardinals
‘49.8%: The Bills led the NFL in third-down conversion rate last season. And they led it in 2022 and 2020. Buffalo was third in 2021. Josh Allen is great on third down. It needs to continue in 2024.’
Bills-Cardinals: Who you got? Our writers make their game predictions for the season opener
‘It is always tough to handicap Week 1. Remember that stinker against Pittsburgh a few years ago? The substantial change for the Bills on both sides of the ball makes it even more of a challenge this year, but given the difficulty of the upcoming schedule, it is imperative to get off to a good start. Sean McDermott surely knows that, and will have his team ready. Josh Allen should feast on a suspect Arizona defense.’
Bills Mailbag: Why new quarterback Mike White became available
‘That information evidently led McDaniel to the conclusion that Thompson was better suited for the job. The Bills being able to add White to their practice squad looks like a good job by general manager Brandon Beane in adding to the organizational depth at the position.’

Bills’ Greg Rousseau is man on a mission in quest to be elite in 2024
‘Miller may be ready to give Rousseau high marks, but the 2024 test is the most important one of the 24-year-old pass rusher’s career. He’s never registered more than eight sacks in a single season and has managed just 17 total in his first three years.’

Five Takes: Who's it gonna be at WR? Kincaid's climb commences. Score prediction for Bills vs. Cardinals
‘One of the most significant concerns in terms of the Bills’ roster entering the season is at wide receiver, where Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis are no longer a part of the team’s group of pass catchers. In their place are rookie Keon Coleman, free-agent additions Curtis Samuel, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Mack Hollins, along with the one returning WR Khalil Shakir. Of the group, Buffalo needs at least two to rise to the occasion and become the consistent weapons Allen will need to produce similar results to that which he found with Diggs and Davis at his disposal.’
